I burned to CD-RW and it booted. Ran the option to tatoo Intel BIOS. It auto ran and rebooted. In Windows, the BIOS string reports as: Code: Windows XP OEMBIOS Test v1.0/168/66 (C) 2007 severach @ msfn forums F:Hewlett-Packard OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=00A1EECB F:Hewlett-Packard OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=3BA155E1 F:HP & Compaq OEMBIOS.CAT CRC=CD4E1902 These Royalty OEM install CD's should preactivate (SLP) on your system. Lines starting with E: are not reliably detected when running under Windows Press Enter! Thanks!
You know at Phoenix there is no need to mod the bios. You simply can add the SLP string and flash the original bios again using MODE=3 (update bios and renew DMI). For OEM Vendors like Acer it always works. Example: phlash16.exe kaw6100.WPH /X /S /mode=3 /DVM:AcerSystem To update more DMI check for additional switches of phlash16
Thanks, Yen. great info according I read this website, you are the specialist for the pheonix bios. how is your "pheonix slic mods tools" going. we are expecting that. thanks again.
it seems like the tatoo works, but i'm not 100% sure. did a OEM verify it give me bunch of HP bio information. I assume that worked? will try to install window home server tomorrow after work to find out the result. I will post up the result tomorrow. Thanks again!
when in windows, open the disk and run the crystaldmi, it will show you the strings in bios. You need to see the Hewlett-Packard string..This, with the correct oembios files, will activate the WHS..
There are utilities for both ami and award. The dmicfg is there, amidmi tools, intel dmi tool, and the crystal dmi that will work on most bios.. The credit for the cd goes to Suicide Solution, I just added to it..I added the core8 bios/dmi tools and the dmicfg..
